Nordic Pure 20x24x2PCP-12 Merv 8 Carbon Filter 12 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x24x2PCP-12 is a pleated activated carbon air filter rated at MERV 8 and sold in a 12-pack. The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, engineered to capture and neutralize odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and common airborne particles including pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. The nominal size is 20x24x2 inches with an actual size of 19.375 x 23.375 x 1.75 inches. A heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame and an internal metal mesh support grid bonded to the pleats keep the filter structurally sound under normal system airflow. Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified service professionals install this filter in standard filter tracks.

This filter is suited for residential applications including single-family homes, condominiums, and apartments where pet odors, cooking smells, smoke, bathroom odors, or chemical VOCs from cleaning products are a concern. It can also serve as a pre-filter in commercial HVAC systems where odor loading is high. The pleated carbon design delivers three times the carbon media surface area compared to flat carbon panel filters, improving odor absorption without significantly restricting airflow. Recommended replacement interval is every 30 to 90 days depending on odor load and indoor air quality demands.
